Antony and his teammates achieved a remarkable feat after more than two decades.

In the early hours of May 13th, Real Betis defeated Elche 2-1 in the 36th round of La Liga at home.

Antony and Betis will participate in the Champions League next season.

After a 21-year wait, Betis are once again participating in the Champions League. With a thrilling 2-1 victory over Elche, Manuel Pellegrini's team officially finished the season in the top 5 of La Liga, securing their place in Europe's most prestigious cup competition.

The five Spanish representatives participating in the 2026/27 Champions League are Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Villarreal, Atletico Madrid, and Betis.

Determined to secure all three points and solidify their position in the top five, Real Betis launched an attack from the very first minutes. It took only nine minutes for the crowd to erupt as Cucho Hernandez scored a spectacular long-range goal, sending the ball straight into the corner of the net.

Despite dominating possession and creating numerous scoring opportunities through Antony, Betis were unexpectedly dealt a blow in the 41st minute. Hector Fort, a young talent on loan from Barcelona, ​​scored a decisive goal to equalize the score at 1-1, much to the surprise of the home team.

In the second half, Elche's hopes of getting a point were quickly dashed when Leo Petrot received a direct red card after a dangerous studs-up tackle on Antony. Playing with a man advantage, Real Betis intensified their pressure tremendously.

In the 68th minute, the deadlock was finally broken. Pablo Fornals ended his two-month goal drought with a stunning long-range strike, securing a 2-1 victory for the Andalusian team.
